Sunday, May 18: We left Dubois to head to Jackson. Up and over Togwotee Pass on HWY 26. This is definitely the payoff. It was 75 degrees in Dubois. 10 miles out of town we stopped to put on our coat liners. There were about 50 cars on top of the pass with snowmobilers having a great time in the meadow. On May 18th!
then 15 miles later we stopped to take the liners off again and take a picture of our first view of the Tetons. Oh my goodness. I've seen the pictures, but having a full horizon to horizon view is breathtaking.
On into Jackson and the obligatory Snake River Pale Ale (I discovered it in Dubois last night) while sitting on a saddle at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. This was Dana's suggestion as a "must do". One drink and we were out of there. But where else can you view a 'Spurs' collection?
Unfortunately, we rode into town too late to eat lunch at the Chili Cookoff Fair. Darn it. Terri had a good time checking out the stores. She especially wanted me to try on the $900 leather windbreaker in one store. I respectfully declined :-)
After lunch and some more walking around we headed for the Wildflower Inn Bed and Breakfast. What a wonderful place. Now I feel like I'm on vacation. Yes, that moose above was 50' from the driveway. I got as close as 20' to take pictures but Sherrie, the innkeeper, yelled that it wasn't a very good idea to get too close. Good idea.
